What holds up well on an enclosed race trailer floor?
I have used epoxy floor paints but they are supposedly not for wood, only for concrete.
What have you used that lasted a few years?

I used battleship gray porch paint. Hasn't peeled off in 2 yrs. It's time for a new coat though.

Option b

Menards has heavy duty vinyl trailer flooring by the roll


My buddy did his, cost $180.00 , everything needed glue, trim,etc

His is 26 feet long

Turned out looking awesome

I've used the Floor and Porch paint too. With a couple of coats down its a nice finish, that can be cleaned easily. Good luck!

Start with a wood primer for marine use, then use the porch paint. The marine primer seals the wood against moisture.

Any one have any ideas on how to clean the used wood with oil and rubber on it before painting it

I think this would work well. Just like the stuff used on treated decks. I think it has been quite a while since Steve had his wood cleaned.

Throw down some oil dry & grind it in with ur feet, then wash with lacqure thinner. Sand, prim & paint.

Where the tires sit will eventually wear through the paint. The diamond plate will also help keep the tires from sliding around. Doing the whole track where the tires will roll is even better, but it gets expensive. Local sheetmetal shop can sheer lengths & widths as needed.
